What a Chance for the art area in Munich. After the dispute between the free state and the architect Stephan Braunfels, the Pinakothek der Moderne has for years paralyzed any further planning, it is now possible to Braunfels, the use of the purchase rights for the second phase. For what amount is not known. However, it is known that the contract of the Foundation of the Pinakothek der Moderne gives a lot of freedom planning. Thus, the development of the range designs around the Museum not more of the former Braunfels-dependent.
With a shock, new possibilities are open for the entire art area – both in content and aesthetics. Also, because the building of the LMU are in the Northern area of the former Turks ‘ barracks in a few years to Disposition. Now you want to think, quite new: It has all the requirements of the four museums under the roof of Pinakothek der Moderne will be examined, with a view to exhibition and depot areas, as well as art education and administration, and also the cooperation with other cultural and scientific institutions. That’s right. It is a mistake, decades-old plans would be realized under changed signs. A long-pursued goal must not be lost, however, The collection of prints and drawings must finally get the proper room.
Right, the intent is to take your time. That you look around internationally, and advice. The goal should actually be to the art area one art campus, to realize as Franz, Duke of Bavaria calls for him. Numerous Workshops, interviews and opinions on the future of the Art district there. And not to forget a also of the Foundation Pinakothek der Moderne, designed by architect Gunter Henn commissioned master plan. All of this, you should think about and also the city and the district Committee invite you to reconsider your views and previous objections. Then a century opportunity.
